Application filed ApIil 1.7, 1883. (No specimens.)

mixture hereinafter specified, to wit: sulphur,

eight parts; soda, eight parts; madder, eight parts; saltpeter, four parts; black antimony,

.four parts; gum-camphor, two parts; capsicum, two parts 5 calomel, one or two parts total, thirty-seven or thirty-eight parts.

day. If the animal is too sick toeat, the medicine should be dissolved and administered in a liquid form, and I have found warm milk to be one of the best liquids for this purpose. In mild cases the frequency of the doses should be decreased, and, as a preventive of disease, two doses per week will be found sufficient.

I am aware that the ingredients which I employ have been'used in compounding other remedies, and that as many as five of them have been used in a single remedy. I am not aware, however, that a compound of the character described or so nearly approaching it as to be substantially the same in operation or results has ever heretofore been produced,

Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A medicine for the relief or prevention of 40 hog-cholera, composed of sulphur, soda, madder, saltpeter, black antimony, gum-camphor, capsicum, and calomel, in substantially the proportions specified.

In witness whereof. I have hereunto set my hand and seal, at" Indianapolis, Indiana, this 14th day of April, A. D. 1883.
